With swords and sword bells of gold or silver gleaming In the sunlight of a nfffect day. nnd white plumes swaying In unison nB the marchers stepped briskly to the music of scores of bands, the Knights presented nn nppenrnnco which brought thcra plaudits nil along thol!n. ... i . Mayor Moore, seated In a special trndtand on the Parkway between Twentieth and Twenty-first streets, received and returned the Balutes of the commanderles ns they swept past. Up and down the Parkway, In tiers of teats fivo deep extending to Twenty third street, sat the relatives aud friends of the marchers. There were more than fifteen thousand of these chairs, all numbered nnd assigned In iroups to each commandery, nnd few were unoccupied. Spectators Cheer Faraders On Broad street, circling City Hall, irid on down to Pine street, where Uic Knights wheeled nnd counter-marched, were other thousands of spectators, who cheered and clapped as the com manderles paraded past. While the parade was parsing, an aviator flew high over the lines of marchers and spectators, flying In grout circles, then souring to a lofty altitude md swooping down again, executing a doien sensational tricks of the uir at he came. He "looped" and side-slipped, darted off at a tangent executing the "Inimcl mann turn, a famous battle trick of the war; dazed the throng nnd caused women to gasp in fear by performing the.haiardous "falling leaf." whirling downward with trembling wings, turn ing' round and round, and apparently In danger of being dashed to pieces.

March' Begins Punctually One of the ndmirahlc features of the parhdo was the punctuality of all die arrangements.

Evcrv one was In its appointed place, the Individual commanderles nil ranged in line, with their bands nnd au tomobiles for their banner-bearers, nt the hour designated and when 10 o'clock came the parade moved promptly. ' The route wns out Spring Gnrdrti street to Twenty-third and down Twenty-third to tho Parkway, where the friends of the Templars and the Mnyor and the reviewing party waited. The parade got under way to nil ac companiment of cheers rrom the dense crowd packing the neighborhood of Uroad nnd Spring Garden streets. Per fect police arrangements lind been made with men brought rri from nil the neighboring and outlying districts, nnd there was nowhere nny delay due to interference by the crowd. The chairs along the Parkway began jo fill early. It wis n brilliant and n happy crowd, women nnd children pre dominating. A double line, of ropes had been run nlong the grass plots fronting the Parkway, nnd the chairs were in the roar of I he second line, so tnnt there wns a clear space iach side of the marching line, giving the -spectators a long visual sweep up nnd down the line of march. Venders Do Dig Business Itefore the parndc appeared at the iDtcrsection of tho Parkway and Twenty. third street, the spectators In the scats amused themselves laughing aud chatting. Venders of little trl angnlar guidons, with the Templar colors and devices on them, did a large business. American flags were in cvdeneo everywhere, nnd most of the children had bright-hued toy balloons. The Parkwny itself was handsomely decorated with a double line of pillnis. topped with the Teraplnr colors and wth American flags, erected for the occasion. Tho smnll grandstand on the larkway gave accommodation to a not able gathering of dlgnltnries of the order and their families.

According to the girl, Price was not the man who wns with her when thu tnxicab man was struck from behind Tvith n blackjack, but she refuses to ro cal who her companion was.

She nld lie had taken the blnme In the hope thnt his confession would get her off either free or with u light sentence.

De Mers, his wife says, suggested that they go out and get a taxi, as taxi drivers usually have money, nnd order him to drive into the park. She says he furnished her with n blackjack. Won't Nanw Mnn At this point tho girl refused to state who actually accompanied her, but swore that it was not Price. She snys that she gave the blackjack to the sailor that was with her and Hint he struck the dm or after he lind driven into a dark part of Falrmount Park. Slie wus arrested a week later in n nonming nouse on Arch street near Fifteenth in company with Arthur Price. She says that when Price heard of her predicament he offered to con fess in the hope thnt it would incline the court to be merciful toward her. It was her hiieband who gave the police th information thnt led to her arrest. Instead of things going ns the couple had hoped. Judge Shull. In Criminal Court No. 1, sentenced each of the pris oners to from tbrce to live years in the penitentiary. In the story told at tho time of her arrest the girl said she came from Ar gos, but in today's story she said her home wns in Scuth Carolina unci she was educated nt a fashionable school. Her mother, she snys, has no idea of her predicament, but Mic wrote to her brother just after she was; sent to jail, lie replied and said hnd he known of her trouble he would have sent the money to get her good counsel even if he had hnd to sell the family home. Prison authorities believe the girl's story, and express sympathy for Price. They said that if complaint was made by the proper persons his releuse could undoubtedly be effected, if the girl's sloiy is proved.

Shall We Buy Winter Coal Now or Wait a Bit? Most householders are ask ing themselves this question, and they may find their a7isiuer ill thin review of the anthracite situation, as presented by the Evening Public Ledger's staff writer, George Nox McCain who has been making an inves- t.1.fin.t.inn fnr atmomt tnnaho Tin wm outline the situation as he sees it in three' articles, of which this is the first. fTIHE anthrncitc supply, on the pcr--- sistent reiteration of the operators, will, with the exception of tho past winter, become a more critical question this fall and winter than It baa been at any time in history. The operators say thnt the public is not buying coal as ln former years. Tbcre Is and has been a buyers' strike. There Is bound tn be a belated de mand, a rush for coal, that cannot be supplied. The public has not accepted these repented statements. It regards them as so much operators' propaganda ; as another angle of attack compelling them to buy. It doesn't know what to do. If coal bins are filled at once the price mny 1 drop between now and winter. If they do not buy, the rate may be much higher later on. L'ncmployment, it should be known, has bad much to do with what the producers call the luck of demand for anthracite. lji the face of nil this there nro cer tain questions of immediate aud lasting Interest to the consumer. The consumer embraces every house holder in the city of Philadelphia and largely through Eastern Pennsylvania, New York aud New England. The questions are: First. What it the actual condition in the anthracite trade? Second. Will anthracite decline or advance in pricet Third. Will it ever reach thn price level that existed prior to JO J and the opening of the tcarf Fourth. What is the remedy jot existing conditiontt T)ic above points cover every phane of the coal situation except one. They arc of Interest to the ultimate con sumer, the producer nnd retailer ai well. In the lout few weeks I have en deavored to make an impartial study of the situation, including ench one of thn above points, nnd 1 find It neces sary to devote more than one article to the review. I shall treat them as clenrly, con cisely and impartially nS possible. The one point uninentloned above Is, "Why Is the anthracite trade bltuation in the condition it is today?" For yenrs past anthracite operators have been denounced universally as coal barons, profiteers nnd by other descrip tive titles suggestive of extortion, prolit grabbing nnd heartless disregard of the geuerul public in tnc supply oi a nouse bold necessity in which they have a monopoly of production, Thnt this condition of the public mind has been duo to the attitude of ihe operators, or a large number of them. Is quite capable of demonstration. All enterprises for personal gain nr1 seltish propositions to begin with, the anthrncitc business more than any other because of the limited area of the co.il fields and their control by n com paratively small number of owners and operators. Anthracite is recognized ns n vital daily nocessit over n large area.
